Eclipse Vulnerability Reporting

ISO 27005 defines vulnerability as: "A weakness of an asset
or group of assets that can be exploited by one or more
threats."

The Eclipse Security Team

The Eclipse Security Team provides help and advice to Eclipse
projects on vulnerability issues and is the first point of contact for
handling security vulnerabilities. Members of the Security Team are
committers on Eclipse Projects and members of the Eclipse
Architecture Council.

Reporting a Security Vulnerability

Vulnerabilities can be reported either via email to the Eclipse
Security Team or directly with a project via the Eclipse Foundation's
Bugzilla instance.

The general security mailing list address is security@eclipse.org. Members
of the Eclipse Security Team will receive messages sent to this
address. This address should be used only for reporting undisclosed
vulnerabilities; regular issue reports and questions unrelated to
vulnerabilities in Eclipse software will be ignored. Note that this
email address is not encrypted.

The community is also encouraged to report vulnerabilities using the
Eclipse Foundation's Bugzilla
instance. Note that you will require an Eclipse Foundation account
to create an issue report, but by doing so you will be able to participate
directly in the resolution of the issue.

Issue reports related to vulnerabilities must be marked as
"committers-only", either automatically by clicking the provide
link, by the reporter, or by a committer during the triage process. Note that issues marked
"committers-only" are visible to all Eclipse committers. By
default, a "committers-only" issue is also accessible to the
reporter and individuals explicitly indicated in the "cc" list.

Disclosure

Disclosure is initially limited to the reporter and all Eclipse
Committers, but is expanded to include other individuals, and the
general public. The timing and manner of disclosure is governed by
the Eclipse Security Policy.
